“The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of "real food for real people" you'd better live real close to a real good hospital.” – Neal D. Barnard

I’ve dedicated this blog to be an informative source about the uprising, yet under reported vegetarian lifestyle. Vegetarian diets are growing more and more common. Overall, a vegetarian diet is formed by plant-based foods such as grains, beans, fruits and vegetables. If you are a vegetarian or are considering it, there are several things to keep in mind. Generally, there are 5 different types:

Strict vegetarian or vegan: A vegetarian diet that excludes all animal products such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products.

Lacto-vegetarian: A vegetarian diet that excludes meat, poultry, fish and eggs, but includes dairy products.

Lacto-ovovegetarian: A vegetarian diet that excludes meat, poultry and fish, but includes eggs and dairy products. Most vegetarians in the United States fall into this category.

Pesco-vegetarian: A vegetarian diet that excludes meat and poultry, but includes fish, milk and dairy products.

Flexitarian: A semi-vegetarian diet with a focus on plant-based food with the occasional consumption of meat, poultry or fish.
